Kokomo Kidd - Guy Davis

Back when prohibition was the law of the land

Politicians knew we didn’t understand

That drinking was the way that laws got made

They got laid and bribes were paid

When the white bootleggers got sent to jail

Nobody couldn’t come go to fail

Except Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd

I’m talking about Kokomo, Kokomo Kidd

Now when liquor got cut down

They government almost shut down

They needed a bagman who looked like a ragman

Who better than black man to come circle whiteman

Whose Gucci fired liquor a whole lot quicker than a white bootlegger could do

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

Call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

Buckskin momma got her very own drummer

Come down from the mountain with the one you get coming for the governor of the

state down south

On the bottom when I got him when I shot him in the foot trying to keep his

size ten out of his mouth

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

My name is Kokomo, Kokomo kid

Come get the shovel, dig a hole, dig a hole papa

Come get the shovel, dig a hole in the ground

I was living in the rough, I was livin' out of tough

I was lifting up the lid, I was liven' off the grid

But they found me, They wanna use my skills

Gave me money, so I could pay my bills

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

Call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

Washington insiders want drugs and sex

It ain’t about whose rich but who can mix

You cut them the ropes and who to go to

Who did your favors and who do you owe to

Now office to office I can hack your email

Find out if you like male or female

I keep secrets, if you say so

But everybody knows you gotta pay moe'

To Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

I’ve calmed all of Washington’s fears

I’ve kept the supreme court high for years

I’ve got governors, senators even representatives

Waiting for my drop off, medicine for a bad cough

I got a meeting at three, I’ve gotta bring coke to the GOP

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid

They call me Kokomo, Kokomo kid
